午后找一家安静的咖啡馆小憩，如果服务员端上来一杯带有可爱拉花图案的拿铁，你会不会有整个下午都被点亮的感觉呢？生活中有些人对咖啡拉花着迷，有些人又是拉花高手。今天，我们就来说说latte art。 Latte art, also sometimes described as cappuccino art, is a pattern or miniature sculpture produced within the froth that tops off milky coffee drinks such as cappuccino or latte. 拿铁艺术（latte art），有时候也叫做卡布奇诺艺术，是一种在卡布奇诺或拿铁等牛奶咖啡饮品的表面用奶泡画出图案或者进行微型雕花的艺术，也就是俗称的咖啡拉花。 Latte art is formed by mixing crema (the technical term for the liquid formed from coffee oil and water) and microfoam (the foam produced when air is passed through milk using a steam wand on an espresso machine). Since neither of these substances are stable (coffee dissipates and foam becomes liquid milk), latte art needs to be admired and appreciated as soon as it's completed, the careful designs simply 'dissolving' after a few minutes! 咖啡拉花是将克丽玛（术语：由咖啡脂和水混合成的液体）和牛奶微泡（在蒸汽奶泡机中使用蒸汽棒将牛奶打成的泡沫）混合后形成的。因为这两种物质均不是稳定的（咖啡会消散，奶泡也会变成液体牛奶），所以咖啡拉花艺术需要在完成时立即欣赏，精心的设计图案仅仅存在几分钟就会“消失殆尽”。 |
